MAP Kickstart from TheWellBeingGym.com

A life-changing opportunity at your own pace.

In the past 2 years I’ve created a second source of income, established a new career, founded my own company, gone from having never written to having a series published in a national newspaper – all while working full-time and moving with my family to re-settle on the other side of the world.

I accomplished and manage all this using the MAP mental model. I created, used and tested this model to enhance productive and healthy habits that allow me to achieve epic goals and maintain my overall well-being with minimal stress. For details about the MAP model read more here.

In this 6-week online course I’ll teach you the fundamentals of the MAP model – the most practical, useful techniques I use to gain perspective, dream, prioritise and take action in my life, feel on top of things, and to ensure a balanced approach that keeps me healthy.

In short, I’m going to teach you how I consider only the essential, ensure effectiveness and work efficiently to lead to happiness or success as I define it.

Six weeks, one email per week

When I piloted the first versions of this course, my clients were keen to learn how to be less stressed, happier and more productive. A recurring piece of feedback was about how hard it is to find the time to complete it. So, I’ve kept the course short and sweet. However I want to ask you to care about yourself enough to invest one hour per week in yourself.

Each week we’ll focus on a different aspect of the MAP model:

Week 1: Defining happiness, what gives your life meaning and essential areas to which you want to give attention – and the areas you don’t!

Week 2: Knowing your principles (values) and your strengths and how can you optimise them

Questions?

How long will each lesson take?
The lessons instructions are one page and the template to complete another page. They shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to complete but this deserves 60 minutes of your thinking time each week – it is life-changing.

How is the course delivered?
You’ll receive each weekly lesson as an email every Sunday, sent to the email address you sign up with. You should complete the lesson within that week.

Do I have to finish it in 6 weeks?

No. I encourage you to implement the lessons that appeal most to you – when they most appeal. Start small and make them part of your normal routine. Don’t try all of them at once but remember they all complement one another as part of the holistic MAP model and they are ordered in that sequence for a reason. They move from big ideas to small. The handbook will serve as your reminder of all the techniques you have learned and are at your disposal.
